Silverfish Control

Q: How Much Does Silverfish Pest Control Cost?

Silverfish pest control is not sold at a set price. What you pay depends on the building, the rooms affected and what the work needs to include. We will talk it through with you before anything is arranged. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply. Phone advice is free.

Q: When Can I Phone About Silverfish?

We're open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 9pm. We're closed on Sundays. Phone advice is free. Ring 02394 190 822 during those hours to tell us where you are seeing silverfish, and we will discuss the options with you and arrange a visit if one is needed.

Q: What Does A Silverfish Visit Involve?

First the technician assesses the problem, looking at the rooms where silverfish have been seen and anything that has been damaged. If treatment makes sense, they set out what the visit will involve and then carry out the work. Aftercare advice relevant to your property follows.

Q: How Can I Tell If I Have Silverfish?

The usual signs are small silvery insects, often in damp or humid parts of a building, and damage to items such as wallpaper or clothing. Tell us what you have spotted, or send a photo. A photo is useful, though it does not always let us say for certain what the problem is.

Q: Do You Treat Silverfish In Homes And Businesses?

Yes. Silverfish control is something we carry out in private houses and on business premises. For any job, we inspect the affected rooms before suggesting any work, since the right approach depends on the building and how it is used.

Q: Where Are Silverfish Usually Found?

Silverfish are usually found in warm, damp or humid rooms. They are often noticed in the parts of a building where moisture tends to build up. If you can tell us which rooms they appear in when you call, that helps us understand the situation.

Q: Do You Carry Out Silverfish Work For Businesses?

Yes. We work at commercial premises including retail units, warehouses, industrial sites and schools, and for property-management companies that run more than one building. Each job starts with a look at the premises involved before we suggest how to proceed. You can read more on our commercial pest control page.

Q: What Aftercare Do You Give For Silverfish?

After treatment we give you aftercare advice for the property. This can include reducing damp or humidity, for example with a dehumidifier, and ordinary cleaning of the areas involved. It is practical guidance, and we do not promise that silverfish will not come back.

Charlie and Craig were amazing really reassuring, friendly and down to earth, as I worked myself into a right state, I was very scared on edge. I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

How We Handle A Silverfish Problem

Silverfish jobs with us run through four parts. At each one, you will know what we are doing and why, and you can ask questions at any point.

1. A Call About What You Have Spotted

Ring us or use the contact form and say where in the building the silverfish turn up, roughly how many you see, and whether anything has been marked. Phone advice is free.

2. Checking The Rooms Involved

A technician looks at the rooms where the insects appear and at any damaged wallpaper, clothing or similar items, then decides whether treatment is needed. If we need to visit your property to survey the problem, a survey charge may apply.

3. Treatment, Explained First

If treatment is the right course, the technician talks you through what the visit will involve and then does the work. Nothing begins until you are happy with what has been proposed.

4. Advice On Damp And Humidity

With the treatment done, you get aftercare advice for the property. That can include ways to reduce damp or humidity, such as using a dehumidifier, alongside ordinary cleaning. We cannot say that silverfish will never reappear, and we will be straightforward with you about that.

Noticing Silverfish Indoors

Silverfish are small silvery insects. People usually come across them in damp or humid parts of a building, and they are most often reported in warm, damp rooms.

The other clue is damage. Wallpaper, clothing and similar items can show marks or patches that look spoiled, sometimes in places that are not disturbed very often.

If you are unsure what you have seen, describe it to us or send a photo when you call. A short description of the room and the items affected gives us a useful starting point.
